Microsoft Word 2000 has started to have performance issues. It now takes upto
1 minute for Word to load and be usable. This was not the case until late
last week. The Hardware is more than capable, (P4, 512MB memory, 80GB Hard
disk) any ideas why this would suddenly happen ? Thanks.
 
Have you installed anything lately? Software can add addins to Word
that can cause delays, such as Adobe or Norton. OR...if you haven't
cleared out your TEMP folder lately...you may have delays due to too
much junk in there. OR...are you on a network? It might be a network
issue?

See these articles for some further info to try to troubleshoot this
problem...
